What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Engineered wood

Landlord and trade work in Shapwick

For anyone letting property in or around Shapwick, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Shapwick, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When to call us in Shapwick

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour-matched on site

FAQs for Shapwick

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
